He is right. I must have conflated the concepts of signed and annotated
tags at some point; I /had/ been thinking of them as identical.
So use:
git tag -a <tagname>
to get an (unsigned) annotated tag.
Many projects use the tag name itself as the commit message for
annotated tags. Or, if the tag is just the version, some use
the versioned name as the mesage, such as:
git tag -a -m foobar-1.4.50 1.4.50
or the like.
